Stockxpert

I was reading that Stockxpert is now being backed by Jupiter, a larger player in the stock industry.  I noticed alot of familiar names uploading there.  Anyone here have any success with them?

we're up to $40 so far.

That's pretty good!  How long have you been with them.  As I understand it, they were in Beta mode until recently.

I submitted an application .. so we'll see if I get in.

It's a new one on me. I've just registered with them but haven't submitted any pics yet.

I believe they are a spin-off of a free site called Stockxchange.  I had visited once, but wasn't too impressed.  Seems like they changed it quite a bit since then.

we joined in mid-september.

I'm just about to submit. How long do they usually take?

[xmasbaby]

I'm still waiting for my samples to be approved (or rejected).  It's been 2 days.

to be honest, I can't really remember how long it takes since we've been SLACKERS and haven't uploaded any new photos since November 19th

I have to say only good things about StockXpert. Really. That site looks good, they tested the site engine on a free site, www.sxc.hu. (I'm not sure 100% that this is true, but sxp is very similar to sxc).
Even if sxp has less photos than other well-known sites, I have good traffic and enough good sales. I think, that the main success of sxp is it's 'brother' free site that has a high traffic and sxp is promoted from there.
By the way, sxc is a powerful resource for designers, beside the noisy photos they have also a lot of technically good shoots. Last month I discovered somebody who does know only about sxc, he was no member of commercial stock photo communities.

You can FTP a bunch of files over, drag them to a folder and they get reviewed very quickly.  You don't have to have keywords or categories selected prior to review.  They are very picky about noise.  They don't send e-mail once you've been reviewed but there is a little circle that is green or orange and let's you know their comments.  I like the format.
